For a year at least.

Good. In my warped mind that means we are after better than him.

[Dhav]

Just heard today that this deal is done

[Ballykissdevil]

He’s just a Big Time Charlie Tosser! He does my head in.

guess no one else really thought he was worth the sort of money Blackburn wanted.
Good player and would have loved to have him play for us, but not for silly money.

New Blackburn boss Paul Ince has confirmed Aston Villa have made an offer for David Bentley..

http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/08/07/14/SOCCER_Blackburn_Quotes.html&TEAMHD=soccer

Ince saw his side win 2-1 in a friendly at Macclesfield, before admitting the club had received a bid from Villa for the England winger.

But Ince insisted he had heard nothing from Tottenham, and made it plain that he did not want former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson and did not want to sell veteran keeper Brad Friedel.

He said: "When I came to Blackburn, I said I wanted to keep my best players, and Brad Friedel comes into that category. He is one of the best keepers in the Premier League.

"There is no interest from me in Paul Robinson. As far as I am concerned, I want to keep Brad. I do not want to sell Brad, so why should I want Paul Robinson?

"As for the David Bentley situation, that will not go away, only time will tell whether he is here in August.

"He would have played here tonight if he had not been injured, but I know that in football players come and players go.

"We have had an offer from Aston Villa, but I do not want him to go.

"But he is injured and he will have a couple of days off and I hope to take him to Germany on Wednesday for or training trip."

This bid surely must be coming from the money they will receive for Barry

Why?, they have an owner as rich as ours and they have spent nothing this year apart from tuppence for Sidwell.
